一段夢與奇幻的旅程。Weiderland ─ 陳志韋個展
藝術家陳志韋，綽號阿韋，跨界藝術創作者，學生時期因興趣開始接觸捏塑、紙雕、微型創作等，憑藉著對創作的熱情，讓阿韋毅然決然地走在藝術的路上。
本次「一段夢與奇幻的旅程」展出包含紙雕及場景模型作品，阿韋的紙雕啟蒙來自日本紙雕王野田亞人，而場景模型的創作開始於2018年，在作品中可見人們對於傳說故事的豐富想像外，他也喜歡以兒時回憶或日常生活創作，作品多塑造出的懷舊氛圍，透過不同場景的營造，期望觀眾在每個角度觀看都能有驚喜與收穫。
阿韋腦中的靈感總是在排隊，他總在工作結束後利用晚上來完成自己的作品。每一件栩栩如生的創作，細膩的做工與精緻的設計皆是阿韋多年自學的成果。阿韋對創作的熱忱讓他熬過學習過程中的撞牆與迷惘，並透過不斷練習，成就了現在的他。
藝術家阿韋用自己的作品與創作歷程告訴觀者：保持初心、勇往直前、不輕易放棄喜愛的事物，並且擁抱與克服困難，終有一天會鐵杵磨成繡花針。

The exhibition Weiderland includes paper sculptures and scenic models. A-Wei’s paper sculptures are inspired by the Japanese paper sculpture master, Noda Yaren. His creation of scenic models began in 2018, which shows people’s rich imagination of legendary stories. He also likes to create works based on his childhood memories or daily life, which mostly create nostalgic atmospheres. Through the creation of various scenes, he expects the viewers to be surprised and rewarded from every point of view.
There is always a lot of inspiration lined up in A-Wei’s mind. He always finishes his works at night after work. Each creation is the result of years of self-education. His enthusiasm for creativity has allowed him to overcome the walls and confusion of the learning process. Through constant practice, he has become who he is now.
Through his works and creative journey, he wants to tell the viewers to stay true to your original aspiration, be brave, never give up on the things you love, and overcome all difficulties. As the saying goes, if you put in the work to sharpen the steel, one day it will eventually be sharpened into a needle.
